Amália Rodrigues is an icon in the world of music . She made Portuguese fado worldwide known . In Portugal she was rewarded with many orders and awards and also in the rest of the world. This work was made in pastels and the original work had a black border around it, that I was not able to show here as EXTO does not alow this kind of things, as they see it as a "frame". This work is only one of 36 portraits of Portuguese fadosingers I made during 3 years
